Can;t for the life of me add your repo to Layman. ( mercurial is installed ). The only response I get is 'Overlay "cryptelium" does not exist!' . I have tried using Layman -f -o [url] but the result is still the same. Any ideas?

[Ramgoti]

How are you? I would like to Thanks for the informative post. I really appreciate it. I hope that I can get more benefit from this topic.

Thanks

You can try this:

Code: Select all

layman  -L -o 
http://hg.cryptelium.net/hg/system/gentoo/overlay/raw-file/tip/layman.xml
layman -a cryptelium

(See the 2steps)



Anyway, which version of portage and layman are you using ?

However, you can directly fetch the overlay and add it to your PORTDIR_OVERLAYS.
The url is : http://hg.cryptelium.net/hg/system/gentoo/overlay/

Hi,

I installed sabnzbd as you suggested and it appears to work except for the init script.

When I run:

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/sabnzbd restart

I get the red [!!], however SABnzbd starts up just fine and also appears to work just fine, too.

The problem is that your init script has assumed the start was a failure and so trying to run:

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/sabnzbd stop

results in:

Code: Select all

server / # /etc/init.d/sabnzbd stop
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                              [ ok ]
 * WARNING:  sabnzbd has not yet been started.

Can you perhaps suggest how I can solve this problem?

Thanks.

I can not reproduce on my gentoo boxes (tested on 3 hosts).

[dprus]

Do you have any idea what I can do to debug it? I've tried to run the start-stop-daemon command from the shell directly and SABnzbd starts up fine from there.

Trying to figure out what actually causes the init script to display [ok] vs [!!].

[dprus]

ok, I managed to get it working. I changed my init.d script to look like this and it works:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background -c ${SABNZBD_USER}:${SABNZBD_GROUP} \
        --exec /usr/bin/SABnzbd -- -d -s ${SABNZBD_HOSTNAME}:${SABNZBD_PORT} &> /dev/null
        eend $?

I think the most important addition is the "--background" directive. Everything behaves as expected now.

[kiorky]

commiting with --background on my overlay as it won't do any harm.

Since upgrading from 0.4.6 to 0.5.0 using your cherrypy and sabnzbd ebuilds my sabnzbd is having problems.  It starts up fine but displays a python traceback at first, and then begins to work but crashes soon after.

I believe I've fixed the complete crash by resolving the admin dir issue, but this cherrypy/history_db issue remains.

[kiorky]

I personnaly did not have the problem whereas i did never do fresh install but only upgrades from 0.4.12 to 0.5.
You may have forgot/failed to merge (dispatch-conf/etc-update) the configuration file which change a bit (diretories) between 0.4 & 0.5.
Just remerge, and check your configuration file.

If the problem persists, i think you have some garbage leftover somewhere or your history database in bad state.

Maybe purging all but your configuration file (/etc/sabnzbd.conf) that you 'll backup somewhere can help and be the quick and dirty way to fix your installation.
You can also trying first to bakcupdelete the sqlite files in:
/var/lib/sabnzbd/admin/history1.db
/var/lib/sabnzbd/dirscan/history1.db

For example, i could have done that to do the operation:

Code: Select all

emerge -C sabnzbd
# backup what is backupable in /var/lib/sabnzbd (like the complete folder ;) )
rm -rf /var/lib/sabzbd /etc/sabnzbd /usr/share/sabnzbd*

Then remerge it

Code: Select all

emerge sabnzbd

And grab some bits from the bakuped configuration file without copying it as-is.

Code: Select all

vimdiff ~/sabznbd.conf /etc/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.conf

Hi kiorky, I'm having no luck adding your overlay to get sabnzbd. I keep seeing it in the list but it says cryptillium isn't available.

Have you either a more specific guide or a tar of the entire ebuild? Any help is appreciated.

[mthode]

I'm getting a ton of errors in cherrypy, is 3.2.0_rc1 the correct build to have installed (I didn't unmask it, it came with that by default).  Here is a pastebin of the errors I'm getting.
